The Insanity of LP's 2018 11.11 Taobao/TMall Group Buy

Since IG has been an area where I connect with 300+ people a month I kind of switched over to that platform.

Please read the post and let me know if you have questions or interest. This is about to be absolutely absurd and by far my largest group buy to date!

interested in whites, cakes, and special hookups

Just message me how much you want to put into each category

meowster said

how much do ppl typically put?

And what are the cake tiers like? and hookups?

and what do others typically spend?

lol this is hard

Everyone will be different but let’s say someone puts $50 for oolong and I buy 5 kinds. That means I split the money up and its $10 of each oolong. Hard to say how the rest will look but I suspect maybe 15kg of oolong overall depending on how many sign up.

how fancy will the whites, sheng, and special hookup be?

It’s hard to say… I’m looking at aged whites, red jade whites, ect… the sheng will be all over the place, and the hookup will just be insane things.

I’m interested but confused. So, I tell you how much money I have to put down and the dollar amount per category?

If I go back to Ohio for the holidays this year, I’d be more than happy to help with the breaking up.

That’s exactly correct!

Got my box yesterday! An embarrassment of riches! Tried my first taste from the oolong buy. It was excellent. I think I see some oolong stuffed into a sawed off reindeer antler in my bag of goodies. That should be interesting and fitting for the season. Thanks, LP!

I am loving the aged oolong from this buy. I’ve had a few so far and they have been outstanding. These are hard to find teas, especially of this quality. Thanks again LP!

Rich select said

Not to complain or anything, but I didn’t get one of these packages of oolong in my bag.

You don’t have a sample labeled ‘1990s TW’ or ‘90 TW’? Everyone got at least 10g from the oolong section

Rich select said

Oh, ok, yes I do see a sample in there. The video said everyone got a full package of that so I was confused. I had the 2000s one this weekend and it was fantastic.

That is for the upcoming aged oolong group buy

Can you provide details so I can sign up?
